Re: HH4 and Galaxy phones

One thing I have noticed is that Wifi-Analyzer shows that the Tab 2 is more sensitive that the G2 phone; I know that app is only a guide but it gives an indication. The Tab 2 is some 7dBm stronger than the G2 when both placed alongside each other and very near the HH4.

The Tab 2 and my wife's Tab 2 still logon to the HH4 without difficulty but my G2 and her G3 mini still do not.

Until a few days ago my G" also used the HH4 when I was near it. Fortunately the ASUS covers more of the house.

Re: HH4 and Galaxy phones

A tablet ought to be more sensitive than a phone because they have a larger area and therefore can install a more sensitive antenna. Laptops also can be better as they can install the aerial around the screen for better receiption.

Re: HH4 and Galaxy phones

Haven't looked at the specs but maybe the tab 3 has more network frequencies it is supporting and therefore has more antennas which then makes it more difficult to get the antennas to be sensitive enough.

Some phones saw this - once you have antennas for a number of mobile frequencies (800Mhz, 900Mhz, 1.8Ghz, etc) plus 2.4Ghz wifi and 5Ghz wireless and of course 2.4Ghz Bluetooth and who knows what else you are looking at a lot of different frequencies for picking up a signal.

EDIT: And perhaps they knocked back the signal power to lengthen battery life...
